Xilingol League

A well-preserved region of typical steppe, with summer grasslands, the Xanadu (Yuan Shangdu) ruins and the Erenhot border port as the main highlights.

Xilingol League lies in central Inner Mongolia, with Hebei to the south and Mongolia to the north, and has vast stretches of typical steppe. Representative destinations include Beizi Temple and the grassland scenery of Xilinhot, the Ulagai Grassland in the east, the China–Mongolia border port of Erenhot (where many dinosaur fossils have been unearthed nearby), and the Yuan Shangdu (Xanadu) ruins, a World Cultural Heritage site, in Zhenglan Banner. June–September is the best season. Xilinhot Airport and Erenhot Airport are the main gateways.
